I might as well throw in some watercolour paintings I did while I was in the countryside. I’ve been painting with watercolours for two years weekly during spring and autumn courses, but hardly by myself at all. Now that I was away from other distractions, I found myself painting quite often, which I didn’t mind one bit.

The ones displayed here are the only ones I happened to scan. I’ll try to scan more of them later. Although I’m rather satisfied with these, I still consider them more like practice paintings rather than serious attempts. And they are mainly done just for fun anyway.

Hiljainen virtaus

Lämpimän tuulen neito

Lehdet

These were painted on A4 sized paper (300g/m2). I usually paint on bigger ones, but for this visit smaller sized paper was more convenient. “Hiljainen virtaus” (“silent stream”) and “Lämpimän tuulen neito” (“lady of a warm breeze”) were quite spontaneous paintings, while “lehdet” (“leaves”) was first sketched on a notebook.
